Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release includes financial measures for net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share that exclude certain non-cash and other charges and that have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. These measures differ from GAAP in that they exclude amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions and stock-based compensation and, in addition in 2006, exclude a restructuring charge. The Company has provided these measurements in addition to GAAP financial results because it believes they provide a consistent basis for comparison between quarters that is not influenced by other activities and therefore are helpful to understanding the Company's underlying operational results. Further, these non-GAAP measures are some of the primary measures the Company's management uses for planning and forecasting. These measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP and these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to information provided by other companies. About Synplicity Synplicity(R) Inc.
